These permits can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at the ABC Commission. For more information and to apply for the permit, please visit the following link: ABC Permit Information.
Please note that if only beer and/or unfortified wine (with 16% alcohol or less) is being served free of charge to guests over 21 years old at a free event, and you have the owner’s permission to serve alcohol on their premises, then obtaining an ABC permit is not required.
